classified pegmatites.

HLM’s goal is to become a fully integrated lithium and tantalum producer by targeting the growth as a result of the shift towards electric/hybrid vehicles and high quality consumer electronics through the development of the PAK Lithium Project in Ontario, Canada.

HLM is actively exploring its 100% owned and optioned PAK Lithium Project where recently a Phase III, 1,600m, 8-hole diamond drill program was completed intersecting wide pegmatite zones containing high-grade lithium and tantalum with possible byproduct potential for rubidium and cesium on the Pakeagama Lake pegmatite in northwestern Ontario, Canada.

HLM has also commenced the next phase of determining the potential for commercializing the PAK deposit by bulk sampling the lithium zone of the pegmatite. The preparation of the 300t (approx.) bulk sample will be completed by the end of March 2015. The objectives are to evaluate production of spodumene-bearing product as a precursor to potential commercial scale spodumene concentrate production, to test the suitability of the product for direct use as a replacement for lithium mineral concentrates, test blasting parameters and mining logistics with existing haulage infrastructure. The scope of a future Pre-feasibility Study will be shaped by the results of this phase of testing.
